nodemon: Run a Python script.
$ nodemon --exec "python ${options}" ${filename-py}
try on your machine

This command is used to run and monitor a Python script using nodemon, a utility tool that automatically restarts the script whenever there are file changes.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • nodemon: This is the command to run the nodemon utility.
  • --exec "python ${options}": This flag specifies the command to execute when the script needs to be run or restarted. In this case, it runs the Python interpreter with the specified options.
  • ${options}: This is a placeholder for any additional options you might want to pass to the Python interpreter. It can be things like specifying the Python version or enabling specific features.
  • ${filename-py}: This is another placeholder for the name of the Python script file you want to run. It assumes the file has a .py extension. Replace this placeholder with the actual name of your Python script.

So, when you run this command, nodemon will continuously monitor the specified Python script file for any changes. If there are changes, it will automatically restart the script by executing python ${options} ${filename-py}.
